3. Learning objectives 1
After interacting with this Learning Object, the learner will be able to:
* the importance of information systems in Business
Relate the real world scenario with the concept 2 3 4 5

4. 1 Master layout or diagram 2 3 4 5
Make a schematic diagram of the concept
Explain the animator about the beginning and ending of the process.
Draw image big enough for explaining.
In the image, identify and label different components of the process/phenomenon. (These are like characters in a film)‏
Illustrate the basic flow of action by using arrows. Use BOLD lines in the diagram (minimum 2pts.)‏
In the slide after that, provide the definitions of ALL the labels used in the diagram
You may have multiple master layouts.
In this case, number the master layout. (e.g. Master layout 1, 2, 3…)‏ 2 3 4 5

7. 1
Explain the process
In this step, use an example to explain the concept. It can be an analogy, a scenario, or an action which explains this concept/process/topic
Try to use examples from day-to-day life to make it more clear
You have to describe what steps the animator should take to make your concept come alive as a series of moving images.
Keep the examples simple to understand, and also to illustrate/animate. 2 3 4 5

8. Analogy / Scenario / Action1
A shopkeeper maintains a computer to keep data for his daily stock.
He finds out the movement of stock manually
Problem:
Is it an MIS?
The shopkeeper is not getting any formatted report in the form of output from the system. Definition of Management Information Systems (MIS) is to provide information in the form of pre-specified reports and displays to support business decision making. But we are not getting any preformatted report. This can be considered as IS not MIS. 2 3 4 5

9. 3 Stepwise description of process 1 2 4 5
The goal of the document is to provide instructions to an animator who is not a expert.
You have to describe what steps the animator should take to make your concept come alive as a moving visualization.
Use one slide per step. This will ensure clarity of the explanation.
Add a image of the step in the box, and the details in the table below the box.
You can use any images for reference, but mention about it's copyright status
The animator will have to re-draw / re-create the drawings
Add more slides as per the requirement of the animation 2 3 4 5

17. Self- Assessment Questionnaire for Learners
APPENDIX 1
Self- Assessment Questionnaire for Learners
Please provide a set of questions that a user can answer based on the LO. They can be of the following types:
These questions should be 5 in number and can be of objective type (like MCQ, Match the columns, Yes or No, Sequencing, Odd One Out).
The questions can also be open-ended. The user would be asked to think about the question. The author is requested to provide hints if possible, but a full answer is not necessary.
One can include questions, for which the user will need to interact with the LO (with certain parameters) in order to answer it.
It is better to avoid questions based purely on recall.
